How to Destroy a Pest.

Many farmers have great deal of trou-
BILE to get rid of lice which affiict their
chickens The Home and Farm, says that
before treating the chickens let the nests
they brood in, the coops and roosts be cleaned
out thoroughly-even the dust removed.
Then whitewash, using a wash strongly re-
inforced by ten to twenty per cent. of kero-
sene, everything, high and low, and sprin-
kle the ground or earth floor, and the fowls
runways, with solution of copperas-one
pound to the gallon of water. Procure
three or four ounces of mercurial ointment,
extend it in three times its bulk of lard, and,
with it, annoint lightly the parts where the
insects gather and burrow, and also touch
the mother hen under the wings and on the
breast with the same. But be careful and
not use too much of the ointment; an ex-
cess will kill the chickens. 1t will be well,
too, to improve the diet of the chickens by
the addition of fresh meat and onions
chopped up together and fed once or twice

Fruit Trees and Soil.

IN writing about fruit trees Daniel Dem
iie0o says that i. is pretty certain that most
lrlnt trees in the South suffer severely from,
poverty OF soil, from lack of lime, potash
ana humus in the soil, and are choked and
roooed by grass and weeds. If one could
put around each tree half peck or a peck of
Llhe ana half bushel of ashes. and then
plle up half cart load of rotten leaves and
roUten woods to bescratched down by chick
ems IN search of bugs and worms. the trees
would be far more thrifty and would bear
more and better fruit.

Utilizing Feathers.

The Poultry World says that feathers,
properly saved, have a market value and it
pays to save them. But many people, upon
farms and in villages, scarcely deem the
small quantity they have worth the trouble

They are rich in nitrogen, but the nitrogen
is In a form which is unavailable for plant
food. The nitrogen can be freed, however,
IN the following simple way: Into glazed
earthen vessel pour a quart or SO of sui
phuric acid and then add the feathers. In
a few days those placed in the acid will be
dissolved and another lot may be added A
quart of the acid will be sufficient for the
feathers of eight or ten fowls. When the
acid will no longer dissolve the feathers pour
it upon the compost heap, or mix it with
any absorbent like dry earth, muck or ashes
and you will have a valuable fertilizer,
readily assimilated, in place of the unsightly
feathers blowing here and there.

The Dust Bath.

Our domestic fowls, says the Southern,
Farmer, go to their dust bath with eager
ness, and it either makes them ''feel good"
or it prevents them feeling bad, for to all
appearance they enjoy it exceedingly. A
louise will stand considerable water without
being suffocated, but very fine, dry dust is
death to vermin, for the reason that it closes
the small spiracles by which air is admitted
for breathing, and thus they are suffocated.
This is the means provided by nature by
which the fowls may rid themselves of a
torment. They seem also to take positive
pleasure while wallowing among clean dirt.
Fowls running at large in summer can help
themselves.

Florida and California Oranges.

The well-known Entomologist, Prof.
Riley, of the Smithsonian Institute, who
has lately spent some time in California, on
being asked which State produced the best
fruit, Florida or California, said: Com
parisons are odious. Conditions of climate,
treatment, marketing, ETC., could not well
be more markedly different than between
the two sections. The Florida fruit is gene
rally marketed before the fruit of Southern
California is ready. As to quality have
seen every degree, from the minimum dry,
pithy pulp surrounding closely packed seed,
and itself surrounded by rhinoceros-thick
rind to the most delicious seedless fruit As
a whole, the California fruit is thicker
skinned and more acidulous than the Florida
fruit The former has consequently bet
ter shipping quality, the latter is the most
delicious. Thatis at least my opinion; but
you know tastes vary and the average Cali
fornian doubtless finds the Florida fruit in

Remedy for Insects.

The damage annually done by insects.
says the Philadelphia Record, is so great
that farmers naturally welcome any remedy
that may be suggested as efficacious. and in
order to enlighten them Prof. Riley, Ento-
nologist of the Department Of Agriculture,
tested nearly all the remedies that had been
recommended by individuals or through the
newspapers. His results show that water
is not reliable as remedy against the cab
bage worm, while salt and water, and salt
petre and water also failed: One part car
bolic acid to 100 parts of water injured the
leaves and did not kill the worms under the
leaves. Pyrethrum, one part, and flour,
three parts busted on the plants, killed
three-fourths of the worms, while Wolf s
soap, one ounce to a gallon of water, applied
at temperature of 90 killed one-half.
Kerosene emulsion destroyed so per cent. of
all worms exposed to it, but buckwheat
-four, ammonia, powdered alum, copperas
water, carbolized lime, black pepper, tar
water and tomato water were failures. Cop
peras water zone ounce copperas to quart
of water) had no effect, but when reduced
to half that quantity of water it killed all
the worms. Carbolate of lime drove them
away but did not kill them. With the
striped cucumber beetle VOLTS soap did no
good, though carbolate of lime in the male
blossoms of squash vines killed the beetles
Tar water and Wolf S soap drove the mar
gined blister beetle from beets, but they re-
turned. Copperas water and ammonia
water had no effect on them, but partcar
boic acid in Ga parts water drove them away
permanently. Kerosene emulsion DESTROYED
the yellow-necked caterpillars, but potas-
SUM sulphide, VOLTS soap, copperas water
and ammonia did not injure them. Two
applications of saturated solution of salt
killed the lice on lettuce, and SO did Wolf S
soap. The soap also killed the aphides on
greenhouse plants but damaged the foliage
The woolly aphis on apple trees was de-
stroyed by kerosene emulsion but uniniured
by tar water and other remedies. The re-
suits show that kerosene emulsion is about
the best insecticide, but when used on cab
bage it imparts its odor The difficulty is
to destroy insects without injuring the
plants.

BuckWhaat.

Mr. George E. Walsh, writing to the Her
aid about buckwheat and its successful pro-
duction, says that if it is sown on rich land
it will, of course, yield better than when
sown in new land which has Just been
scratched over with the plow or harrow,
and in proportion to the fertility and state
of cultivation of the soil will be the need of
more or less seed per acre. If the soil is
mellow and well worked peck of seed to
the acre will give a good yield, while on a
piece of rich lowland meadow broken up for
reseeding bushel of seed will be sufficient
for five acres. There is one advantage in
thin sowing which is not always appreciated.
1t greatly encourages the branching of the
plant, and upon these branches the seed is
borne very thickly, while the grain is larger
and plumper than when sown thickly. On
new land the grain is sown thicker, owing
to the fact that a great deal of the seed will
faIlupon spots where the ground has been
unbroken, or on stumps and roots, so that
about twenty per cent. of the seed put into
the ground will fail to come up. The choice
of the seed also affects the growth of the
plants considerably, although the black and
the gray appear to grow almost equally well
on average.soils. Upon a thin, gravelly,
slate soil, which is in good condition, the
gray variety yields more and better -four
than the dark, thick-skinned kind. But
these conditions of soil are not always OBJ
tainable on farm and, under other cir
cumstances, either variety will yield good
harvest.
The question of fertilizers for buckwheat
is one to which little attention has been paid.
Why any fertilizer should be used may seem
strange to those who have been accustomed
to raise the grain on poor land, where it
seemed to flourish under the most unfavora-
BILE circumstances. On rich, well cultivated
land, then, it would seem that manure would
be sheer waste This is partly true, but if
the crop is to be raised in the most approved
manner, the same as the other grains, the
application of little superphosphate of
lime would not be money lost. Buckwheat
isa great nitrogen gatherer, and in the hot
season when this crop is grown the produc-
ton of nitrates in the soil is going on ac-
lively, and the crop is naturally well sup
piled with nitrogen in any soil in which this
fertilizing agent can be developed in an ac-
tive condition. The application of plaster
is also beneficial.

Something About Cut Worms.

We are SO generally asked, says the An1e-
ricon Agr-icultwrist, about the ''cut worm"
that it is evidently the popular idea that
there is but one insect deserving that name,
while in fact there are half dozen or more,
all larvae of different species of moths.
Practically they might be regarded as one,
did not some of them ascend trees, shrubs
and other plantsJin their destructive work,
while most of them confiue their operations
to the surface and work their mischief by
cutting Off young and tender plants even
with the ground. Their work is done at
night, and as daylight approaches they hide
themselves in holes in the ground. Cabbage,
when first set out, and lettuce and other
plants of the garden, up to squashes ana
other plants of the farm, are attacked by
them. Growing muslSmelons and water
melons for Northern markets is now an inn
portant industry in the Southern States,
especially within easy reach of the shipping
ports, some hundreds of acres being occu-
pied by watermelons alone. The grower OIL
melons, as we'll as of cabbages, etc, finds
that his greatest obstacle to success is in the
attack of cut worms. Various devices have
been proposed to ward off their attacks, but
among these none appear to be so sensible
or SO effective as that devised by DIR. A.
Oemler, author of "Truck Farming for the
South" Dr. Oemler kills off the cut worms
before the plants appear. Upon his water
melon fields he sets poison traps at about
fifteen feet apart each way. These traps
are cabbage or turnip leaves, which have
been moistened ON the concave side and then
busted with a mixture of paris green with
twenty partsof -four. These leaves areplaced
over the field, poisoned side down, at the DIS
tances above stated, before the plants appear
What followsg The doctor facetiously says;
Two such applications, particularly IN
cloudy weather, at intervals of three OF four
days, viii suffice to allow the cut worms TO
make way with themselves, which they gen
orally do with perfect success
